The family got back from a week long trip to Mexico on Tuesday evening. We left on Tues. the 29th of March, and spent Wednesday afternoon thru Saturday morning visiting with the people we used to live with in Altotonga. After that, we spent Saturday afternoon thru Monday morning in Coscomatepec, where our friends now preside and serve. On Tuesday at 7:30, we were back home. So on Wednesday of course, it was back to work for Dad and myself, and back to school for all accept Dad. Our time down south was very good. I enjoyed the time we were able to spend with friends - the people I grew up with. Being able to spend time with the teens was awesome, and I laughed the most I had since being in Altotonga in November. The short time we had in Cosco was just as good. It is very encouraging to see what God is doing in that small little town. The church there is now about 50 persons. Incredible growth for being only about 2 years since the first house meetings started. Praise God! Overall, the time was awesome, even if short. God encouraged me and reminded me how great He is.
Through God's unbelievable peace, I realize a new chapter has started in my life. The time in Altotonga reminded me that we are no longer there. No matter how long we are away though, we still love the people there and have them in our prayers. We know that we will never forget them, and they will never forget us. Still, we know that God has plans for us here. He has plans for me here. And now I believe I am ready for them. Before, it seemed Altotonga was still at the forefront of my mind. Now though, I have peace. Now, I am ready to say 100%, "here I am Lord, send me."
Blessings to all!
